"Daughter," Revil addressed his daughter as she was leading him and Levini to the room they would be staying in for the duration of their trip. "Alistair doesn't seem too fond of us. Have you any idea as to why?"

"Honestly, no," Rel sighed, completely unaware as to why I avoided my grandparents. "It's hard to tell what's going on in his head, most of the time. What I know for certain, however, is that he hungers for emotional connection. He was very excited to meet you both, in the days leading up to this, so I'm also puzzled as to why he acted so coldly towards you…"

"Did we do something wrong?" Levini asked, a frown on her face. "I don't remember either of us saying anything that could've upset him… was I too clingy?"

"Not really," Rel said with a shrug. "Plenty of people around him are even more touchy than you were, as much as I try to dissuade it, but he seems to have no real problem with it."

"We'll just have to try hard to get his favor, then," Revil stated firmly. "His birthday is in a month. He might appreciate certain texts from the royal vault."

"You don't mean…" Rel's eyes widened as she looked at her father. "That magic is stressful, even upon me, and I have a great spirit to assist! He may possess nearly as much mana as me, unrefined as it may be, but it could be dangerous!"

"He doesn't have to even attempt it, in the near future," Levini pitched in. "But if he is to attract a spirit of his own, he'll need to do it sooner or later. Better to do it the traditional way, before he accidentally cuts himself off. We learned our lesson, with you."

Rel blushed, but continued regarding her parents seriously. "Alistair is a very intuitive boy; eager to learn, quick to act, and very stubborn. If you give him that scroll, he will attempt it that very night, and as powerful and smart as he is, he may not be able to find his way back if he goes too far. Not to mention the beasts, and the terrain."

"True as that may be, I believe he could do it," Revil said. "My spirit tells me that Alistair's potential far surpasses any being he has ever seen, even gods. Having him bond now would allow him to reach that potential, and perhaps grasp even further."

Rel remained silent, worried, more than anything. Her second son was a prodigy among prodigies, and had knowledge from another world, but could I stack up against a higher plane of existence, and all it contained? What if she lost her son, because she and her parents were too eager to see him grow? Rel was already hesitant enough as she was, letting me venture into my dungeon and out into the city when I wasn't even a year old, yet.

But at the same, she knew she couldn't keep me contained forever. As much as she wanted to keep me as a baby, and simply live like that forever, I was a reincarnator, with intact memories and a blessing from the gods. She would never get that experience from me, as was made clear the moment she had seen that I attained my first awakening. It saddened her, somewhat, but she knew better than to mope about it.

' Alistair… ' Rel thoughts, a sad smile on her face. ' Oh, how I wish to have been your first mother… to have raised such a fine young man… '

' I just know you'll be the greatest thing to happen to this world… '

*****

The next day, I awoke to a rush of pain to my head, which quickly faded thanks to <Gamer's Body>. My clone had finally finished his first excursion into the dungeon using anti-mana, and it had been very fruitful.

' That's a lot of enemies... no wonder it took so long. He found the final boss of the dungeon, too, and got dispelled fighting it... ' I sat up and brought up the class selection menu.

[Select an Element:]

{ Wind }

{ Light }

{ Shadow }

'Wind, light, or shadow,' I contemplated. I knew wind was a powerful element, as I had seen Vaquin use it a number of times. He was able to generate blades of wind that swept through enemies, as sharp as any blade I'd ever enchanted, and I knew that was only the beginning. The idea of ranged melee attacks was a fun one, but I was much more attracted to the other two elements available. Light would allow me to bend electromagnetic radiation - light - to my will. In combination with my fire, I'd be able to generate plasma much easier, and create a real kamehameha. Plus, the utility of lighting up a space and blinding opponents wasn't to be left unsaid.

Counterpoint, shadow magic. Being able to manipulate the absence of light would make me a total powerhouse in any dark space. Anir had, upon my request, shown me how shadow magic could be used to conceal oneself in darkness, and create spikes from people's own shadows. She even created a mirage of herself, similar to a shadow clone without its utilities, and manipulated it using her magic. If I got that, I could use shadow magic as a cover for my cloning ability, while still having the advantage of people not knowing my clones could actually act on their own, perform magic, and gather intelligence.

'Woah, baby, that's a lot of stuff, ' I thought as I read it over. The first thing I did was take out the craftsman gem and crushed it. What I chose was obvious.

<Alchemy > (1/100)

Next, I took out God's attribute crystal and crushed it, choosing the magic affinity.

[Skill <Mana Affinity> Learned!]

<Mana Affinity> (1/100)

+5% Skill EXP with all mana related skills.

After that came Adam's crystal, from which I grabbed the <Eyes of the Lord>. Obviously. Say goodbye to all my struggles in learning skills I could now copy instead!

[Skill <Eyes of the Lord> Learned!]

<Eyes of the Lord> (1/100)

Grants the user perfect, limited absolute vision. All that is seen can be reacted to and copied, at a deficit to SP and HP. Maximum scale is dictated by the level of this skill.

Then came the <System Upgrade Voucher>. "Use the upgrade voucher on the system's observational capacities."

[Done! You can now view a person's entire status page, skills, and true stats, as well as get additional information on objects, and even spells!]

"Cool," I nodded. The next item on the agenda- ' wait, an assassin? ' I blinked, reading the event I had drawn again. ' A curse-free assassin. I would assume that's most assassins, so it must be relevant to a world where curses are common. Either way, I don't like the sound of an assassin coming for my head… I'll have to work harder to be ready, just in case. '

"This might help," I muttered, taking out the <Boon Flaw Poll> and swallowing it with a bit of spit.

[Boon: <Fast Learner> Gained!]

<Fast Learner>

You learn new skills 200% faster! (0-25)

[Flaw: <Gynophobe > Gained!]

<Gynophobe >

You are instinctually nervous around women!

' Well, that's awkward, ' I frowned at the flaw, knowing most of the people in my life were women. Hopefully, I'd be able to counter it somehow. ' I'll be fine. I'm not really afraid of women, right? ' I thought back to when Siv grabbed me, and forced myself to fight off a shudder. ' …Right? '

[As if you weren't afraid of women before…]

' I wasn't afraid of women! ' I shouted internally. Sure, I was nervous around them, but I was nervous around people in general. A life spent around people with guns, bats, knuckle-dusters, and murder records would do that to anyone! Now, it had simply manifested in my conscious mind. Either way, I was perfectly capable of working around it, as I'd proven with my relationships up until this point. I did sigh, though. ' Anne would never stop making fun of me over this… '

I shook off that thought and brought out my fruits, eating them all in succession.

[I forgot ;~;]

' Don't use an emoticon to try and gain my forgiveness! ' I chided the being. ' Besides, how the hell do you forget such a core mechanic of your own existence?! '

[Just because I mimic a machine doesn't mean I'm perfect, Alistair. To be fair, you forgot to take on your weekly quests!]

' …I did, didn't I, ' I blinked. ' That gives me shit EXP compared to the dungeon, anyways! '
